Chapter 168: What are you competing with lotus seeds?
"Oh......"
Yang Huairen clutched his chest and let out a sigh, it turned out to be a person from the chrysanthemum guard, and he was so scared that his brother's little heart almost jumped out of his throat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You float around like a ghost at night, aren't you afraid of scaring children? Even if it scares cats and dogs, it's not good. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, two more black shadows flashed out of the flowers, and they also knelt on the ground and clasped their fists and saluted like Lian Zigeng.
"Lian Zilu (Lian Zizhou), a subordinate Chrysanthemum Internal Guard spy, has seen the envoy!"
Yang Huairen twisted his face tightly, feeling that his heart hurt. These internal security spies are used to acting secretively, and they like to hide in the dark when they come and go without a trace, and when they suddenly appear, it is really scary.
After rubbing his chest for a long time, Yang Huairen came to his senses, remembering that the names of these three internal guard spies were really strange, how could any parent name their child, what is it called lotus seed soup, lotus seed dew and lotus seed porridge? Could it be that the sweet soup shop failed?
Therefore, Yang Huairen judged that this may be a customary habit within the Chrysanthemum Internal Guard, since it is doing some secret things, they should take some code names to call each other.
The three men in black acted in unison, took out a waist card made of brass from their arms, and showed it to Yang Huairen to show their identities.
Yang Huairen took a piece and carefully identified it in the dim light, it was indeed the same as his jade chrysanthemum inner guard waist card given to him by the Empress Dowager Gao except for the different texture, so he confirmed that their internal guard identity was true.
Then he took out his jade waist card from his bosom and showed it to the three men in black, also indicating his identity.
"What's the difference between the jade waist card and your brass waist card?"
Lian Zigeng took the lead in replying: "The little bottoms are all low-level spies, and they naturally use the brass waist card, and Envoy Yang has a prominent position among our internal guards, so he naturally uses a jade waist card." ”
"Oh," Yang Huairen nodded, it seemed that he still had a small status in the internal guard, although he didn't know what level of the envoy was.
"Your names...... It's funny. Don't say anything outside, it's dark and weird, come on, let's talk in the house. ”
The four of them walked into Yang Huairen's study, lit the lamp, and the three internal security spies dressed in all-black night clothes took off their masks, revealing three identical faces.
"I see......"
Yang Huairen now understood that the names of these three were not codenames, but real names that had been replaced as fake, because these three internal guards turned out to be triplets!
"You said that the father and mother of the three of you are real, what are you competing with lotus seeds?"
"Back to the envoy, the three of us have no parents, and it was Manager Ye who raised us. Mr. Ye is kind-hearted and bodhisattva-hearted, and when the three of us still remember, we lost our parents and became orphans.
It was Manager Ye who saw that the three of us brothers were pitiful, so he bought us home from Renyazi, not only raised us to adulthood, but also taught us martial arts, and later let us join the internal guard.
Mr. Ye loves to eat lotus seeds, so he gave our three brothers such a name, to be able to get Mr. Ye's love, the three of us brothers swore to be loyal to the internal guard, even if they went to the soup and fire, they would not give up. ”
Yang Huairen was a little disgusted, Gonggong Ye, the stinky eunuch, was actually a good person in the hearts of the three Lianzi brothers, where could he be reasonable in this kind of matter?
Thinking about it again, Yang Huairen understands a little, the establishment of the Chrysanthemum Internal Guard is definitely not a matter of recent years, or when Empress Dowager Gao became the queen thirty or forty years ago, she had the same ambition as Wu Zetian.
Maybe at that time, she had a shallow foundation and didn't have enough strength to snatch the supreme power from her husband or son into her own hands, especially the Great Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, and the civil official group that attached importance to etiquette and religion held the core of power, and she had no way to start.
But now it's different, in her heart, maybe the time to turn into a dragon and fly into the sky is coming.
At present, the new emperor is young, and she has listened to the government for many years, and the most powerful Luopai civil official group in the court is also in her hands, and all the new officials and generals who are loyal to the emperor have been dismissed and degraded in the past few years, resulting in the decline of the Zhao royal family, and the imperial power has been very weak.
When Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he was only nine years old, and the Empress Dowager Gao said that when the new emperor reached the age of sixteen, he would return to the government, and seeing that Zhao Xu was about to turn sixteen at the end of the year, the Empress Dowager Gao would seize the last opportunity to seize the throne from her grandson.
And the chrysanthemum internal guard is her next trump card, over the years, the internal guard does not know how many dark secret deeds she has done, and those things that exclude dissidents in the court are indispensable behind the help of the internal guard.
And Gonggong Ye, as Empress Dowager Gao's most trusted personal attendant, is the head of Empress Dowager Gao's secret organization.
Over the years, Father-in-law Ye must have collected a lot of orphans like the three brothers of Lianzi, and trained them in martial arts and the skills of finding secret news since they were young.
Yang Huairen felt that the three Lianzi brothers were really pitiful, they treated Gonggong Ye as a benefactor and godfather, but in fact they were just minions and eagle dogs used by the superiors, and they lived in the shadows all their lives and did not see the light of day.
Suddenly remembered that the Empress Dowager Gao developed him, a new member of the Chrysanthemum Internal Guard, and gave him the ministry of a special envoy, it sounded like the official was not small, Yang Huairen couldn't understand what use value he had for the Empress Dowager Gao.
If she just wanted to know what Zhao Xu did after leaving the palace, or what she had said, she could obviously use other people, and Yang Huairen could not achieve a relatively high position in the internal guard in one step.
Yang Huairen felt that he was just a little cook, he didn't know martial arts, and he didn't have any strategic skills, how could he be so promoted by Empress Dowager Gao?
Don't...... Yang Huairen thought about it carefully, he thought of another great use of him, Zhao Xu likes food so much, and he is touted as a young chef, if one day in the future, Empress Dowager Gao ordered him to do something in Zhao Xu's food......
Oh, my God! Yang Huairen was shocked into a cold sweat, and suddenly felt chills all over his body, as if he had fallen into a bottomless ice cave, his whole head was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do.
This is to make me a substitute for the dead ghost, Yang Huairen scolded in his heart, I bought a watch last year, the stinky old woman died old woman, it turned out that I dug a pit here and waited for me, you are too poisonous, right?
The three Lianzi brothers looked at Yang Huairen's face for a while, red and black, and then turned white, and thought that the internal guards were all hidden masters with superb martial arts, and the direct leader in front of them in the future might have a deep internal force, and he could control the changes in his face at will.
